Thought that all the veterans could post their stint and what branch, or whatever else they wanted.

U.S.M.C. from Aug, 1972 until Sep, 1976. Was a FO with a mortar platoon in country for Eagle Pull. Some of the stops along the way were Lejuenne, K-bay, 29 Palms. After getting out I put 22 years in with DOD until I retired in 1998.

[Big Al]

U.S Air Force (1971 - 1991)
Army tried to draft me, but I was quicker!
Stationed in England, Turkey, Japan, and Germany.

Visited / deployed to many others.

Never felt that I was in a life-threatening position; unless you figure in the national highways!

Always felt military members where thought of as "second-class" citizens by the non-military. Surely that was started during the Vietnam War. However, it would appear that has currently changed and I hope it stays that way!

 

[diverduck1]

Hey MustangNM
What floor or department did you work while at Keesler... I was an Orthotic Tech (91950) there from 1987 til 1990..

Some times things change for the better, in my 26 years the pro attitude has gone hand in hand with conflicts, its a shame, the citizens should treat the troops with respect all the time

Worked on Cardiac Medicine floor, 2D I think it was. Orthotic tech? Damn, I wanted to crosstrain into that when I was a medic but it seemed liked it was always overmanned or when there was an opening, my career field was short.
I was at Keesler from Sept 87 to Dec 91.
